Specs - class M, 62" drivers, impressive 240 psi boiler pressure, 22.5x30" cylinders, engine weight of 317,490 lb, tractive effort of 49,972 lb.

Description:
The Alco-Richmond factory shina and white walls still gleams in this photo. Built in 1923, it originally was numbered 139 but a year later renumbered to 540. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo but it appears to be very early in its service, hence the arbitrary date set in 1924. The J-2 class was eventually retired in 1951-52.

Illinois Central 4-8-2 #2410
Description:
This 1923 Alco "Mountain" type locomotive was listed by the IC as the 2400 class following the guidelines of naming the class after the first number in the series. These units gave the IC much needed speed and increased pulling power for longer, heavier trains. The Paducah shops then built 76 more Mountain type locos between 1937-43 patterned after these first ones. This is a May, 1970 reprint from C.W. Burns original negative taken at 27th Street in Chicago. .

Nice photo from a direct scan of the original negative and it appears that it is newly delibered 4-8-2 Mountain type locomotive built by Alco-Schenectady in 1923.

After nearly 34 years of service, the loco was retired and scrapped in February of 1960. Rebuilt specs - 73" drivers, impressive 230 psi boiler pressure, 28x28" cylinders, engine weight of 376,500 lg, tractive effort of 61,824 lb. Unfortunately, no photographer, date or location was listed for the photo so approximates were used.

Beautiful boiler plate face, number board, and light on the massive 1929 Alco built 4-8-2. Called a Mountain type locomotive by almost every other rr, the NYC decided it should be named "Mohawk" to reflect the NYC region.

NYC 4-8-2 #3001 - New York Central
Description:
An unknown railfan took this photo of the very fortunate 4-8-2 Mohawk, NYC #3001, which is one of only two surviving NYC 4-8-2's left. It's history is interesting. Built by ALCo-Schenectady in October of 1940 (serial #69338), it served the New York Central as a powerful addition to their roster for nearly 17 years before being sold to Texas & Pacific in March of 1957 who renumbered it T&P #909 and put it on display at the Dallas fairgrounds. The loco passed through the hands of the city of Dallas and then the Museum of American RRs in Dallas. It was part of a trade for GG1 #4903, it landed in Elkhart with the Lakeshore RR Historical Foundation. For a short time it was even borrowed by a power plant to use as a stationary steam generator. Finally it was donated to the National NYC RR Museum in Elkhart, IN. where it is on static display.

Description:
Nice shot of the 69" drivers on New York Central 4-8-2 #3001 by an unknown railfan while on a visit to the National NYC RR Museum in Elkhart, Indiana. The NYC called these 4-8-2 giants "Mohawks" rather than the conventional "Mountain" wheel configuration as they thought it inappropriate for a "Mountain" loco to be pulling their advertised "Water Level Route" trains.

NYC 4-8-2 #3001 - New York Central
Description:
At one time, there was discussion about restoring NYC 4-8-2 #3001 to active service. It is one of only two surviving NYC 4-8-2's left with the other one in the National Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood, MO, near St Louis, MO. Haven't heard any updates in a long time. Does anyone know if the plans are still active about restoring this beauty???
